March 12th, 1986
Charlotte, North Carolina
I tip toed out of Shawn's room, careful not to wake him and Marlon up.
As I walked out of the room backwards, I slowly closed the door making sure I didn't make a sound.
I successfully made it to out of the room, and as soon as I was turning around I bumped into someone and stumbled backwards.
"What the hell-" Uncle J says.
" Uncle J!" I yell, regaining my balance to give him a hug.
"What the hell wrong with you girl. You know I'm old. You trying to knock me over and shit."
"I'm sorry Unc I didn't see you." I laugh.
"It's alright. You didn't mean no harm." He smiles. " What you been up to? I missed you coming over everyday at our old house."
" I miss those days." I sigh. " Well I'm here now so you'll be seeing more of me."
" Oh lord." he rolls his eyes.
" What-"
"I'm messing with you." He chuckles. " What you doing up early anyways?"
"I'm always up early." I shrug. " And plus I really have to use the bathroom."
"Well I'm going to warn you now about the smell in there."
I shake my head as I walk into the bathroom.
As I step foot into the bathroom, the smell hit nose. "damn!" I say scrunching my face in disgust as I walked out. "What the hell did you eat?!?"
"Watch your mouth while you under my roof!"
"The way its smelling in there, I couldn't help it."
" It don't smell that damn bad in there." He laughs
"Yes it does."
He laughs even harder, " Well you gonna have to hold your breath."
I pull up my night shirt to cover my nose as I walked back in the bathroom. Once I got back in the bathroom I grabbed the spray and sprayed the whole bathroom.
" Don't make no damn sense." I mumble to my self.
I quickly used the restroom because it was so hard to breath in there.
After I got out of the bathroom I went downstairs to the living room to watch tv.
When I got to the living room, I flopped down on the couch and grabbed the remote that was sitting right beside me.
Once I turned on the tv 'The Cosby Show' was on. I didn't want to watch that show at that exact moment so I flipped the channels and I stopped once I saw that 'The Jeffersons' was on.
" If that ain't me and my best friend." I mumble to myself as I laugh.
"That's a very funny show." an unfamiliar voice said behind me.
I jump then quickly snap my head around.
I saw an unfamiliar person learning on the counter next to the kitchen. He was a tall, caramel boy with thick glasses that was hiding how beautiful his eyes were.
